More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
The ordinary literary man, even though he be an eminent historian, is ill-fitted to be a mentor in affairs of government. For... things are for the most part very simple in books, and in practical life very complex.
Woodrow Wilson
There is something better, if possible, that a man can give than his life. That is his living spirit to a service that is not easy, to resist counsels that are hard to resist, to stand against purposes that are difficult to stand against.
Woodrow Wilson
I am so glad that I am young, so that I may give my youth to you.
Woodrow Wilson
Reality is what I see, not what you see.
Woodrow Wilson
There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.
Woodrow Wilson
The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation—until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country.
Woodrow Wilson
Americanism consists in utterly believing in the principles of America.
Woodrow Wilson
Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end, and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own.
Woodrow Wilson
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.
Woodrow Wilson
Death, like the quintessence of otherness, is for others.
Woodrow Wilson
I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.
Woodrow Wilson
The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.
Woodrow Wilson
No man can be just who is not free.
Woodrow Wilson
Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand--that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
Woodrow Wilson
We are participants, whether we would or not, in the life of the world.... We are partners with the rest. What affects mankind isinevitably our affair as well as the nations of Europe and Asia.
Woodrow Wilson
Things get very lonely in Washington sometimes. The real voice of the great people of America sometimes sounds faint and distant in that strange city. You hear politics until you wish that both parties were smothered in their own gas.
Woodrow Wilson
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
Woodrow Wilson
Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto.
Woodrow Wilson
The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples' characters: he cares much--everything--for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power others simply the materials on which that power operates.
Woodrow Wilson
